ted the organ and the wedding march
pealed forth from it in notes more than
usually inspiring. Precisely ut half
past o'clock the wedding party moved
up the centre aisle where Rev. William
Laurie, ID. d., awaited their approach.
The six ushers, two by two, preceded
the bride and groom.
From the church the wedding party
and few friends proceeded TO the home
of the brides parents. There delight
ful supper was served, congratulations
received and the time spent most pleas
antly until the evening train which
took Mr. and Mrs. Meyer on tour of
the Eastern cities.
The bride is the daughter of NJ. and
Mrs. James l.. McCalmont Of this
place. She is of about the average
height has refined, pleasing manners
and numerous accomplishments, music
being one of them. Her demeanor has
ever been modest. But such rare ilow-
ers cannot bloom unseen. This one
was found by ayoung gentleman desery-
ing the best wife in the world and we
believe he has secured rare treasure.
| The groom is the son of Hon. j. q.
| Meyer, of Aaronsburg, this county who
with his wife WAS present to witness
the ceremony. He is young man of
rare talent and bright prospects. A
close student, eloquent and impressive,
he will rise to eminence in his chosen

trict attorney with special ability.

presses his hearty congratulations.
